The problem is that pace of our foundation has not possessed the capacity to adapt into the rapid population explosion, however, now things are changing and after the introduction of metros and bullet trains, we are set to something stunningly better. That is the thing of the future, the Hyperloop. The increasing demand in speedier transportation is one of the driving variables for the development of major key players in this technology.

The most recent contender is Richard Branson-driven Virgin Hyperloop One, which plans to price hyperloop rides in India for less than USD 150. In spite of the fact that the aggregate cost is somewhat expensive than the first class train tickets, it is certainly less expensive than the aircraft charges.

Harj Dhaliwal, Hyperloop One’s MD for the Middle East and India, mentioned, “India is a very price sensitive market, hence we are in the process of process of price modeling.” “We want to keep prices as low as conceivable to stimulate demand, however, not so cheap that will drive away financial or private speculators from the project,” he said.

It's not just Branson who is pitching to the Indian government to actualize the technology, another player, Bibop G. Gresta, Chairman and Co-founder of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is in converses with the experts to build the Hyperloop transport system in India. A couple of days back, the US-based organization was in news proposing a route connecting Anantapura-Amravati-Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam as a major aspect of (around 700-800 kilometer) incorporated Public Transit framework.

Mumbai-Pune Hyperloop:

It was expressed that the Hyperloop route would link central Pune, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and Mumbai in 25-minutes and connect 26 million individuals. Supporting 150 million traveller trips for every year, it would likewise help create a flourishing, competitive mega-region. Branson's hyperloop mode will be for the majority, leading 150 million traveller trips each year. In any case, it's not just Maharashtra where the Hyperloop transportation will soon turn into a reality.

Prior, in September 2017, Andhra Pradesh had marked a Memorandum of Understanding with Gresta-led Hyperloop Transportation Technologies to construct a hyperloop course between the cities of Amravati and Vijayawada.

In a period where India's first bullet train appears like an implausible dream, it will be fascinating to see who will win the race for building the first hyperloop route.
